If you read books written by some of the best fly casters in the US, they tend to make many of the same statements. Two people casting side by side have different styles, different techniques and both can accomplish getting that fly right where they desire the drift. I am not sure there is an exact, heres where your arm, shoulder, wrist must be, here is the right forward to nine back to 3 o'clock, etc method of casting. For me, it was learning what works for me, and allows me to place a drift in or darn near the exact spot I wanted more times than not. I've learned the softer, lighter, and slower touch I use with a fast action setup the better distance and drift location I end up with.
